Affleck also commented on the news, showing support to Reeves’ vision of Batman.
“Excited for The Batman in Summer 2021 and to see Matt Reeves’ vision come to life,” Affleck tweeted.
Affleck officially hung his cape during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. He also explained why he left the role.
“I tried to direct a version of it, worked with a really good screenwriter, but couldn’t come up with a version,” Affleck told Kimmel. “Couldn’t crack it. So I thought it was time to let someone else take a shot at it, and they got some really good people.”
Affleck’s exit marks another piece of Snyder’s vision leaving DCEU. Henry Cavill also seems to have exited his role as Superman, although he and Warner Bros may strike another deal.
Talking about Snyder, the director left Justice League and was later replaced by Joss Whedon for the film. Fans have supported Snyder with the “Release the Snyder’s Cut” slogan. Snyder offered his thanks for the measures taken by fans to support him.
